First off right now I am reading "Shiver" a YA series. I am in my late 20s and the lady that writes the books are around the same age as me. I think that to say adults shouldn't read them, then they shouldn't write them either.

Stephanie Meyer said that the reason Twilight has a has such a good adult fan base, was because at first she was not writing for YA she was just writing it for herself.

Furthermore, I do not enjoy books where the characters use foul language and jump in bed every other page.

I love Hunger Games, I read the series in less than a month and I love Twilight, not because the are YA but because they are good stories.
